After yet another move, I'm in full purge mode, getting rid of old stuff to make way for future old stuff. I just stuck these up on eBay, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing them.

Still have a pair of the old school shades, with the z-shaped ear pieces. Still rock them, they are fun.

So would that be the "Blades", or the "Razor Blades"??

I remember spending a couple paychecks on a pair of those BITD. They ruled, but the foam would turn green pretty damn quick. Everyone I knew including myself tore up that stuff ASAP.

I wish I could find some old Carrera 98 goggles. They were the best thing to wear over glasses.

I've given up finding them on ebay after looking about once a week for a couple of years!

My brother has a pair still in good shape. He pulled them, and Jofa mouthguard, and one of his mid-70's red Bell helmets out of the closet for me to check out... talk about memories.

And no, they're not for sale... :-)

Heres Hendersons album cover with the glasses he & Miles Davis came up with.

[i:9cdb2]Dig the cover of Michael Henderson's Wide Receiver and you'll have an understanding of cool. Check out Henderson in those Oakleys. Then understand it was 1980 when he released the album and Oakley didn't exist. But considering Henderson played with Miles, he should understand cool better than anyone. Folk, Michael Henderson, on Miles, cool, and why Oakley owes him some royalties, unedited and in his own words.[/i:9cdb2]

FJ: You were playing quiet storm before DJs had coined the term, but in my formidable years, I remember buying Wide Receiver because I was digging the shades.

MH: (Laughing) Oh, yeah. Miles turned me onto those glasses. Back in Italy, we went through a mall and there were some ski glasses there for skiing and we just ripped the plastic from around them and wore them like that. The next thing we knew, people were making glasses like that.

FJ: Oakley owes you and the Davis trust some royalties.
